Answers :

You'll need to install Vista from an original installation CD, you cannot just copy files. Your laptop should have come with a bootable vista disk, and the installation code, usually found on a sticker somewhere on the laptop or inside it. You'll then need to boot up your acer, go to the bios and change the "boot from" option from your hard drive to your cd drive. Insert the vista disk, and reset the pc. The software should guide you through the rest of the setup, just remember to create a new partition on the acer when it asks you. Hope this helps!

You can not just copy vista. you would need to get an install cd of vista and install it onto the pc. this still may not fix your internet problem as there is no guarantee that vista will even have the drivers for your pc components.
